Gingerbread Cookies - Last Post for Awhile

Hi, everyone!  This is my last post for a while.  I've been struggling to find my crafty mojo so I'm going to stop trying so hard, have some patience, and maybe it will come back on its own like it did last time it went missing. In the meantime, I did find some inspiration to make a card and coordinating tag!

Have you checked out the fun event over at Beccy's Place? Beccy is having A Month of Holiday Cards, with inspiration every single day! I was inspired by Day 3 - Digital Images, Day 9 - Create a Scene, and Day 12 - Kraft Cardstock, Beccy is giving away lots of free digis for linking up your cards and even for commenting. Thank you, Beccy!

I decided to use Beccy's Gingerbread Set that I won at her event last year. I love the Gingerbread House and all the adorable cookies!  I went with the precoloured images since my urge to colour has vanished. I enjoy fussy-cutting, so I cut all the images and even the words!

For the card, I began with a kraft card base and heat-embossed a snowy sky with Simon Says Stamp Falling Snow stencil, Versamark, and white embossing powder. I die-cut the snowy hills with Poppystamps Stitched Landscapes and added Elizabeth Craft Warm Diamond glitter along the snow. I affixed the house, gingerbread man, and words with foam tape, and adhered the other cookies directly onto the card. Lastly I added twine tied in a triple-looped bow (American Crafts).

My tag was inspired by Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags, specifically Laurel Beard's tag on Day 10. I liked the gingerbread theme and the kraft tag base.

The tag was made with MFT Stitched Traditional Tag Stax but I trimmed off the bottom using partial die-cutting to make the tag smaller.  I added a punched hole and tied some DL.ART Vintage Vinyard Crinkle Ribbon (thank you, Diana!).
